anyone using aeropress? how is the taste? I'm getting OEM aeropress from taobao because the price is too attractive

Haha, that's the best part about coffee.. learning is just the tip of the iceberg
Do you prefer the taste of the 27 seconds extraction? It should have more body.. or along the sweet spot. You can try 28 seconds but I guess the bitterness would already overpower the acidity..

Aeropress is a very good brewing method. You basically control everything.. brewing temperature, pressure, extraction time... etc. So taste wise, many possibilities
That also means, a lot of trial and errors.. bwahahaha.. but once you get the gist of it.. you can at least calculate more precisely to get a closer proper brew. Remember to prepare a calculator and scale to go along

Here are some tips:

Not good if u have to make coffee for say 2 or more.
I don't own one I am going to try chemex and they are pretty hard to find. Must be low production

Wow need to take care of so much variable and calculation haha, btw what grind suits aeropress? I saw some of em say that is espresso grind and some says that is slightly coarser than espresso grind


I'm making 1 cup only so I guess it its fine for me . Chemex not same with pour over method?

The beauty of aeropress is.. You can use almost any grind except Turkish la lol.

For chemex, I think its on back order in the US of A. Should probably start shipping or restocking since mid Jan.. Try again in a week or so.

chemex is pour over method.
there are a few different pour over method.
Seattle coffee gear has a video comparing chemex, Hario and Kalita

They are out or most places out since nov.

Notice you don't have v60.
I use it as I prefer not too strong coffer with aroma

Year end promos and bundles.. I have a 6 cups chemex stashed back in its box.. Waiting for the ROK grinder and might use it again lol.


You could try the clever dripper too, great cup minus the hassle

Yeah. similar to v60 as well lol

Saw that parkson was having promotion on Hario V60 kit before for RM60 only.
If anyone interested.

Btw just a PSA, if anyone is interested to learn about drinking and/or brewing coffee.
Pleasa give Beans Depot a visit.

I see, I just searched this video on youtube last night haha, nice comparison

Looks like we really really need a calculator on this Didn't know this.

My way of doing pretty simple. Cannot say perfect but most of the time pretty satisfied.
2 scoops of ground (the scoop came with Aeropress)
90 DC, 3 quarter IKEA 365+ mug of hot water
90 secs

Works for most coffee, with exception of those light roasted. Need more brewing time for those.

Not exactly everything lol.. it all started from a French press..

makes me feel like trying out french press or pour over coffee but now so occupied with espresso

I also want aeropress... >_<

I start with drip coffee then espresso, pour over only coffee joint. Trying that next. Moka pot only camping.

French press often get some coffee inside drink, I have cheap one. Use it once and just use it for tea now.
